2. Forget the multitude of Academy Award nominations for American Sniper, Twitter is more concerned about #FakeBaby

It’s been nominated for six Academy Awards, and it’s smashed the box office, but Clint Eastwood’s movie American Sniper has some critics and audiences divided in regard to its portrayal of a skilled marksman in action.

But what’s got most people talking is the use of a doll in place of a living baby. Yes, this has left Twitter abuzz with #fakebaby, as a video of the scene circulated throughout the social media platform.

Most users ridiculed the scene, leaving the emotional performances of Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller looking silly by contrast.

The writer claims there was a real baby due on set that day, but they called in sick. California has strict filming laws for babies, so the producers might be forgiven for replacing the real thing with a Cabbage Patch Kid from the local Toys’R’Us (although the majority of Twitter users seem less forgiving).

3. Can you help get Ted back home? Great Ormond Street spark social media campaign to reunite teddy with his owner

Great Ormond Street Hospital has posted a photo on their social media accounts of a teddy bear found outside of the hospital on the 17th of January, igniting an appeal to help the teddy find its owner.

The hospital’s campaign has sparked the wide-spread use of #GOSHbear , with the image being shared over 17,000 and the campaign making it onto ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

The importance of the teddy bear being reunited with its owner is paramount, as toys are used as a form of distraction therapy for upcoming surgeries. Great Ormond Street Hospital even employs a team of play-specialists who help to comfort children through stressful and anxious periods.

4. Office workers secretively checking Facebook when the Boss’s back is turned is soon to be a thing of the past with Facebook at Work finally in its trial stage

Facebook have begun a testing phase of the new service that utilises traditional Facebook interface and tools in order to allow colleagues to share information in a confidential, secure and safe place separate from their personal profile.

The development places Facebook in direct competition with the likes of LinkedIn, Yammer, Jive and Huddle.

The move comes as an increasing number of companies are investing in social media strategy, realising that their online social presence is key to a positive brand image.

Research from HCL Technologies suggests that over half of workers are banned from Facebook and other social media sites at work. However, Samsung research suggests that Facebook-addicted Brits are the most likely Europeans to flout such restrictions, with 2 in 5 UK respondents admitting they had done so.
